Fantasy football owners are notoriously squirrely about weather. If the forecast calls for one snowflake or a gust of wind, we're bombarded with questions about whether quarterbacks and kickers (among other players) should be benched.

Four games—Eagles-Falcons, Redskins-Steelers, Dolphins-Jets and Chargers-Browns—are expected to see rain and medium-high winds, and with several high-powered passing attacks involved, fantasy owners will undoubtedly be nervous. The good news is that it will likely be more wet than windy (at least, that's the forecast right now), so aside from a few borderline kickers and receivers, most of your normal starters should be good to go.

Of course, the weather could change at any time, so we'll be providing up-to-the minute information in our chat.

For a taste of what else we have to offer Fantasy Source subscribers, read on:

The decider

Start 'em:

Quarterbacks

Andrew Luck, Colts. Luck has had two rocky road starts against the Bears and Jets, but the Titans' defense isn't good. There will be opportunities for points and yards, and Luck showed again last week that even when the passing isn't there he can give you something on the ground (two touchdowns). This could be his best week yet.

Three more: Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger should be in for a monster game against Washington's pass defense at home; look for San Diego's Philip Rivers to rebound after the bye with Antonio Gates returning strong to Northeastern Ohio; Oakland's Carson Palmer has been steadier than expected, and that will continue against the archrival Chiefs.

Sit 'em:

D/STs

Cowboys. This is not only a reminder they're playing the Giants (high scoring, low turnovers, no sacks), but also that you need to be worried about the value of this unit going forward without leader Sean Lee. He is key in calling the plays and getting everyone in sync in Rob Ryan's aggressive game plan.

Three more: The Falcons look good against the turnover-riddled Eagles, but Philadelphia should clean up its act by running often; the Broncos had a huge game in Week 6, but they're a definite sit in a Sunday night shootout with Drew Brees and the Saints; the Chargers aren't as good as you think on the road against a suddenly lively Cleveland offense.

Rankings analysis

Tight Ends

Stud: Dustin Keller, Jets (No. 9). It's good to see Keller at full strength. He totaled 93 yards and a TD against the Patriots, and he'll face the Dolphins this week. Miami allows 14.3 yards per reception to tight ends. Keller is a safe starting option.

Sleeper: Anthony Fasano, Dolphins (No. 27). This is a Hail Mary, but the Jets have allowed three TDs to tight ends in their last three games. Fasano has four TDs in 10 career games against New York, and he had 10 targets in the first meeting.

Go For It?: Logan Paulsen (No. 23). Paulsen had four catches for 76 yards in place of Fred Davis (Achilles') and would seem to be in line for a bigger role in an exciting offense. But the Redskins signed Chris Cooley this week, meaning Paulsen will return to no-name status within a few weeks.

Big Talk: Only two qualifying tight ends average more than 14.0 yards per reception: San Francisco's Vernon Davis (No. 1) and Philadelphia's Brent Celek (No. 25). That says these guys are working the seam. Davis is our top option this week, and Celek gets an Atlanta team that allows 7.4 fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Fantasy matchups

Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Incredibly, Brees has thrown for multiple scores and over 300 yards in every game but one this season; in that one, he still tossed three scores but only had 240 yards. Over his past two games, Brees has thrown for 747 yards and eight scores. You'll find few fantasy quarterbacks who are better than Brees.

Peyton Manning, QB, Broncos. He may not be the player he was three years ago, but fantasy owners who rolled the dice with Manning this year have been rewarded. Manning has thrown for over 300 yards and multiple scores in each of his past four games. With the Saints' pass defense one of the league's worst, expect that streak to continue Sunday night.

Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos. McGahee has been up-and-down on the ground this year but has done enough in most games to salvage a decent performance for fantasy owners. Facing one of the league's bottom-five rush defenses on Sunday night, expect more than just a decent performance. McGahee is a clear-cut fantasy starter this week.

Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos. Thomas only saw two targets in Week 6, but he managed to catch both of them for 37 yards and a score. So far this year, Thomas has either caught a touchdown pass or gone over 100 yards in all but one game. He's finding a way to produce every week. Facing a struggling pass defense, Thomas should be in line for a big game Sunday night.

Eric Decker, WR, Broncos. While Decker's numbers aren't as impressive as Thomas', he has picked up a score in his past three games. The Broncos' air attack has gotten going over the past month, and Sunday projects to be another productive night for Manning and his wideouts. Decker is a WR1 this week.

Marques Colston, WR, Saints. Colston "only" had 73 yards and a score last week after putting up 284 yards and four scores his two previous games. With the Saints passing game on fire, Colston should be starting for every fantasy team he's on.

Matt Prater, K, Broncos. Prater hasn't received a field-goal attempt in his past two games. Back at home, though, facing a soft defense, Prater is in line for a bounce-back week. If you see him available on the wire and need a bye-week kicker, Prater's a solid option to roll with.

4-Star Players

Jacob Tamme, TE, Broncos. Though the Broncos' passing attack has been strong the past month, Tamme has not seen an uptick in numbers. He's averaging just 33.7 yards per game this season. His season high is 50. Even more distressing is his lack of touchdowns. But tight end has been a top-heavy position this year, and in an offense as good as Denver's, Tamme's potential is on par with the non-elite options.
